Title: Improvements in and Apparatus for the Production of Hydrogen.
Inventor: MESSERSCHMITT ANTON
IPC: C01B3/06
Filed: 1913-08-01
Granted: 1914-04-23
Abstract: 17,691. Messerschmitt, A. Aug. 1. Hydrogen-producing furnaces.-In the manufacture of hydrogen by the alternate oxidation and reduction by means of steam and reducing- gases of an iron reaction mass, the reducing-gases comprise a mixture of air and gas produced out of contact with the reaction mass and partly burnt. The reducing-gas is admitted to a mixing- chamber 2, Fig. 1, by pipes 4, 6, a regulated amount of air being simultaneously admitted by pipes 5, 7. The mixture is partly 'burnt in the chamber 2, and the gases pass through slots 3 into the decomposer a, traversing the reaction mass in an upward direction and passing thence into the heating-chamber b, where they are completely burnt with an adequate supply of air. In a modification, the mixing-chamber 2 is disposed at the upper part of the producer, the reducing-gases passing in a downward direction. To facilitate the mixing, the gas and air are introduced into the annular chamber 2 in a tangential direction. Fig. 3 shows the air-pipe 5 feeding the chamber 2 by tangential pipes 7. In a further modification, Fig. 4, the decomposer 17 is formed by two concentric cylinders and is bounded bv an outer heating-chamber 15 and an inner heating-chamber 16. The heating-space 15 is heated by admitting reducing-gas through a valve 19 and air in regulated quantities by way of a valve 20, annular passage 21, and pipes 22. The mixture of air and gas flows downwards in the heating space 15, and then upwards through the decomposer with reduction and simultaneous direct heating of the iron oxide therein. The escaping gases are completely burnt in the inner heating-space 16 by admitting an air blast by a valve 23, and exhaust into a chimney 25. The operations may be alternately reversed in direction by introducing reducing-gas and air into the inner heating-space 16 by way of valves 26, 27. The mixture of air and gas may, alternatively, be first effected in the annular space 28. Air and gas may also be introduced directly into the heating-space by tangential nozzles.

Abstract: 24,851. Pyrah, J. Oct. 31. Coating webs.-In dyeing and sizing warps, the warp b is led from the back beams to the dyeing-machine D, where it is passed through one or more heated dyebaths c, squeezed free of superfluous liquor and led, after a short passage through the air and while still warm, to a sizing-machine, whereupon it is passed through the sizing- bath, passing finally to a drying-machine. In the steam-heated dye-bath c, the warp b passes round a roller d, which may be more or less submerged by means of rack gears e, f, and alternately over guide-rollers j, k outside the vat c, some of which have associated pressure rollers l. The warp then passes through separating-devices p, which permit the easy access of air, and then, after the air passage, during which the steam is allowed to rise somewhat without allowing the warp to cool to any marked extent, over a guide-roller q to the sizing-bath c<1>, where, submerging arrangements, similar to those described above, are employed. The warp then passes to any usual dryer and to the loom beams. If the dyeing process used is not a single-bath one, a second dyeing-apparatus is employed.
